READING.LESSON 2.

Brevity of Time. 1. Time is a tide that never runs back'; it knows no pause'; and no man has seen its end'. Hence, it is brief, only as it relates to the life of man'. The several stages into which that life is lotted', pass off in very quick succession'; and the whole date of his continuing', is brief indeed'.

2. The moment that is passed', is gone for ever', aone can beg it back'; none can charm it back'.

The arrow is flown';—the moment is gone';
And three score and ten', passes by like the dawn';
On wings of the wind', it mounts to the sky',

And reports to its author', how we pass it by': 3. Now', as the past is gone and can be retaken by none', and as no one has a title to the future', the most that can be claimed, is the present'. Let this little point, then, be used with care', and promptly and wisely devoted to the duties of life', and the things that pertain to the hour of death'.

MULTIPLICATION.--LESSON 3.

Practical Exercises. 1. James has 13 sheep, John has 3 times as many, and Jano has 6 times as many as John; How many has Jane, and what will they amount to at 2 dollars a head?

Thus: 13X3=39, X6=234, Jane's sheep, and 234 X2= 468 dollars, Answer.

2. Six men paid a debt; each gave 631 dollars; what was the debt?

Answer, 3786 dollars. 3. The State of New York is divided into 56 counties. Now suppose each county has 36 towns, each town 572 houses, and each house 5 persons; what would be the population of the whole state? Ans. 2016 Towns; 1153152 houses; 5765760 persons.

4. B. has a fine orchard; the trees stand in rows two ways; each row one way has 138 trees, and 110 the other way. Now suppose each tree bears 909 apples; how many trees and apples in the orchard? Ans. 15180 trees; 13798620 apples.

5. A. bought 342 bales of cloth; each bale has 56 pieces, and each piece 25 yards, and each yard worth 5 dollars; find the amount.

Ans. 2394000 dollars.

GRAMMAR.--LESSON 8.

The eighth part of speech. The eighth part of speech is the Conjunction. This class of words is used to join words, and sentences, and members of sentences. They are generally small words and are styled particles. And, but, as, so, yet, are among the most common.

Thus: James and John are good boys. Jane and Mary read well, but they write too fast. He whistles as he goes, yet he is sad. As the tree falls so it lies.

038. You will know the conjunction because it connects words, or sentences, or parts of sentences, and is called a conneclive particle.

7. Time's like the closing watch of night',

Which dies before the rising light';
Or, like a bub-ble ;--like a sigh,
Then be prepared', O child'! to die

ARITHMETIC.-LESSON 7. The operations of subtraction may be performed in a very compendious way by a rule called

Division shows a method of finding how many times one number is found in another, and what remains.

In this case two terms are given to find a third.
The number given to be divided is called the Dividend.

The number by which the division is made is called the Divisor.

And the third term or answer is called the Quotient.

What is left when the work is done, is a fractional part of the dividend, and is called the Remainder; this will always be less than the divisor.

When the divisor is less than 13, it is called short division, for then it is done by one operation, and the quotient stands in a line under the dividend.

Rule 1. Write the divisor on the left of the dividend, and part them by a small curved line; then draw a line under the dividend.

2. Find by inspection how often the divisor is contained in the first left hand figure or figures, and place the result under the right hand figure of those that were taken into the inspection, for the first left hand figure in the quotient.
